Hands up who used to read books under the bedclothes with a torch as a kid.
I always have to remind myself that torch is English for flashlight not something villagers carry with pitchforks.
I was going to say, this sounds much more dangerous than using a flashlight under the sheets.
Me too ?
Me! Me! MEEEE!!!
Not me. Depends if I have to share a bed.
Guilty! 😀
There were times I would use my alarm clock as light to read.
Sarah Combs. I knew exactly what was meant. LOL And YES I did.
Me!!!!
Most definitely! Thanks for stirring those memories. 🙂
50 years later, and I’m still teased for it!
Still do!
I did until my parents put up a reading light at the head of my bed. They knew they couldn’t stop me from reading past my bedtime.
I still do ?
I’m still doing it 😀
me haha… that was fun?
Meee.
Hell, I still do so I don’t keep the hubby up lol
Yes…and learned to listen for that special, specific creak of the floor just outside my door, so I could know if I needed to switch off quickly and shove the book under my pillow!
I kept at it till sometime in high school. It ruined my eyesight ? and probably caused my lifelong insomnia…would i do it again? Totally!
Yes I did. Got caught a lot to. Finally my mom gave up. Lol
Mine too
A flashlight under the covers!

What, we were supposed to stop?
✋✋
I didn’t, but I used to listen carefully if my grandma would wake up at 1 or 2 am and had about 3 seconds to turn off the light untill she would see it.
All the time!!
Still do …
Yes
I did
Yesss! Got into trouble too!
All the time. Memories.
Well I used to go to a separate, dark, cozy room and grab some books to read with a lamp.
I didn’t wanna set my sheets on fire so no
Yep
Me
My grandchildren

Still do when husbeast is here ?
So, that’s what burned our house down THREE times in West Virginia prior to 1946. Yes, three times.
We owned two books: A bible and a hymnal in 1946.

My twin sister and I both did.
Omg yes! It got so bad at one point when I had no torch I used my phone as a light…It wasn’t a iPhone ?
I did, and so did my older son. The younger one probably did too, but I never caught him at it. My older son loved re-reading Holes by Louis Sachar, a really great book.
